I have absolutely no doubt he's going to be excellent. He will be a cult hero, I'm certain of it.

Pleased we’ve finally signed a forward.
I honestly know nothing about him, never seen him play, hadn't even heard of him until a few weeks ago, I hope he’s good.
Good luck Scamacca

Sooner or later we are gonna get it right with a striker, got a good feeling about this signing.

Welcome to our great club and may your goals be plentiful.

Haven’t been this excited about a striker signing since Calleri.

That’s the fun part, we’ve signed him to play at left back.

We haven't had a striker threaten to be top scorer in the top flight since John Hartson 25 years ago. I genuinely hope Scamacca can be the one to get 15+ goals in the league it would make a huge difference to our team.

Have only seen a showreel and I'm expecting the Italian Brian Deane so doubt I'll be disappointed in any way.

£30m. f*** all these days, isn't it?

Good luck, Luca.

Isn't he the wrong type of player for our front line?

More of a Haller than an Antonio?

Moyes described the striker her was looking for and it was quick and mobile. Is that this guy?

Got a bit of a Marlon Brando look about him

Could be class, could be a contender

Wait and see, mate.

There was a number of people who reckon he's got good acceleration in the transfer thread this morning. :fxd:

He'll probably be alright.

I’m excited as much as the next man, but let’s give the lad a chance to settle and find his match feet. No digging him out in his early games. Give him time to build on the pitch relationships. Let’s see him attempt chances with both feet and his head before we judge his technical ability. Finally, let’s see how he moves and sounds on tock tick. So in summary, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt for say ……..three games!


You’ll be fine young man. You are home! Go get ‘um.
